Since Congress was in power in Delhi and their nominee occupied the AP Governor's post,Bhaskara Rao became CM of Andhra Pradesh.
Seventeen opposition parties,including the CPI,CPI(M),BJP and the Janata criticised this move and launched a 'Save democracy movement',leading to massive anti-Centre protest against the dismissal of the TDP government.

He called it a dharma yuddham (a war for justice),a war against the authoritarian and autocratic rule at the centre,for restoration of democracy and safeguarding the Constitution. The central government,recalled the governor and reinstalled NTR as CM –the only instance in political history of India when a dismissed CM was reinstated.
